Due to massive boredom and internet induced paranoia I'm now more worried about zombies than I am about terrorists.
I'm thinking learn to drive and buy some kind of long hitty thing, minimum.

Share your wisdom.

The obvious items:
Shotgun - Zombies have a weakness to these
Chainsaw - And these
Cricket Bat - And these
Food - Zombies eat ME for food, but I can't eat them. I need nourishment while running for my life
Compass - So I know in which direction I'm going
Map - So I know what I'm going to FIND if I continue in the direction I'm going
Flares - For signalling
Laptop - To try get help over open wireless networks. And, at a push, as a weapon
Mobile - For getting help
Other People - Back-up, company, and zombie-bait

Maybes:
Katana - Only effective at VERY close range
Wood Axe - Ditto
Zombie Films - Know thy enemy. But when will I find the time?
Garlic - If there are zombies, what about vampires? You never know...

Steroids, because I can't run for shit and at some point this will be the only method of escape. Because if you've watched any zombie films at all, you know your weapons will eventually be ripped away from you by the sadistic force of fate.

I've come up with the ultimate item for the kit.

It acts as a weapon, a place to store the rest of the kit, a means of transportation AND a handy resting place.

A tank/monster truck with an engine that runs off biofuel or something. Or is solar powered. Maybe it runs off zombie parts.

That way, you can crush zombies, not have to carry around a super-heavy bag, stay somewhere safe and/or inaccessible, and get places faster.

Also, it looks cool.

If you go for the former vehicle, you'll be able to clear a path using the turret, and be super-protected.

If you go for the latter, you don't really even need to CARE about the landscape. Just drive over what bits of it are in the way, crushing them.

Cackling like a mad hillbilly/cowboy while doing so is optional, but entertaining.
